vinco frame

[RyanMcVicker]

Can anyone tell me how strong and durable the vinco frame is?? If this is THE frame for tall people, I think it will be my next frame...(and stem, lol)

also, are there any downsides of the vinco setup? Seems like it would be harder to slap/pedal up big walls because of the huge stem, but i am probobly mistaken.

What fork does vinco use?

and finally, can you give me links to all the vids which vinco is in? Or anyone riding a vinco frame?

Thanks very much.

-uses a koxx fork

-do a search in the videos section on vinco. not too complicated



-in the world cup videos, in the giacomo one, you see vincent and vinco standing next to each other. They look pretty much the same height. I'd always though vinco was 6'5'' or something, does anyone know how tall he actually is?

with that 'I'beam looking tubing, and all, that bike looks really burly. i am thinking about wanting one in the spring..


you can see some badass vinco footage in the lesgets04 vid.

i think Vincos style is super sick. the bike would be really ridiculous for roll ups and i assume would get to back tire retardedly easy. If you have a more fluid-comp style, style of riding I would defiantely think about it. It would most likely be burly, huge clearance (both bb and pee pee) and yeah, totally gnar

[Peter Green]

Yes the frame is sick and the style is sick but after watching lesGets i had an impression that even Vinco himself is unable to ride that bike properly... it looks like he was the only pro not to make this frontwheel hoock up. Well why does he need a frame this HUGE if it dont give him any advantage, but vica-verca?

vinco is pretty tall. i think hes at least 6'4". i know what youre saying in the vid about him and vince looking about the same but i think i remember vinco being a giant bean pole. i would think you should be at least six geet tall to even consider riding a vinco effectively.

I think a lot of people over look what a high bb can do. going from my megamo radical to my equip which is the same geo except the bb height changed everything completely. my bike is seriously unstable and because the bb is so high along with your center of gravity you tend to fall back a lot. Example of this would be doing a roll up onto a steep wall. your weight is so far off the wall you really get pulled back a lot. definitely something to consider.

[RyanMcVicker]

yea, iam 6'3" but i may be about 6"4" now or pretty soon...

in that lausanne video when he lands from back wheel in that v-thing and you hear the snap. I said to myself

that cant be good with such a long ass bike.

[WhiteRavenKS]

usually snapping sounds are not good for any length bike... and wtf was up with him still making it through that section with a flat.... BALLER.

Didnt you JUST get an XTP?

[AndyT]

that bike feels so fucking funny its insane.


ridiculous feeling


I'm afraid of it.

[pav]

which bike might that be andrew?

That sound was his front tube bursting.

I'm about 6'4" tall. When I stood next to Vinco he was slightly smaller, I'd say he's between 6'2" and 6'3"

[RyanMcVicker]

andrew is talking about the vinco. Evan's probobly.

I bet it feels better for tall mofos.

I just always feel hunched over alot on any trials bike, maybe since its a stock with mod stem i will feel more comfortable.

BTW, was it just me, or did you guys also think it was insane at 2:43 in the lesgets elite 26. The part when vinco is just standing on that huge rock face almost completely vertical it looks like. Cause of the huge bb rise and stem. That thing is crazy.

I have ridden Evan's Vinco for about five minutes, and here are my impressions: The next bike I get will have a raised BB - period. The bike is hands down the best feeling on the rear wheel I have ever ridden. It just wants to be on the rear. You could definately tell you are higher on the bike (higher center of gravity). I am 6'7", and the bike felt good in terms of length. I didn't notice a huge difference in length from my 1093 coust, though. The only thing I personally didn't like (keeping in mind I only rode it for about five min and didn't get totally used to it) is the size of the stem. It felt too long and too high in relation to the front wheel. It almost felt like it was more stable on the rear wheel than on both - sort of a weird feeling. I'm sure with time you'd get used to the handling, though. I agree with Andrew that at first the bike feels really weird, but after a little time, it got better. If I got one, I would try a long/tall normal stem (i.e. 125x25d) and see how that felt compared to the mod stem. It seemed like the mod stem maybe overcompensated for the high BB. Last I talked to Evan, he loves it. Hope that helps.

I'm only 6'0" but I'm a lanky ass nightmare before christmas mofo. I sometimes feel KINDA cramped on my radical, and my knees hit the headtube area when doing any kinda spinning......The Vinco was gonna be my next frame, but that price is kinda insane....still debating, I guess I have till my Megamo breaks...
